WHlSTLING TOY.

'tlPECIlFICtdTIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 736,782, dated August 18, 1903.

" Application filed May 19, 1902. Serial No. 107,959. (No model) I To all whom iilm ay concern:

Be it known thatl, CLIFFORD D. ROBB,a citizen of the United States ofAinerica, residing at Allegheny, in the countyof Allegheny and ate ofiPennsylvania, have invented certain n "u? and useful Improvements in Whistling floys, of which the following is a specification, reference being had thereinto the aci when u'o rated.

I strong, dura oompanying drawings.

This invention relates in generalto certain new and useful improvements in games and toys, and relates more particularly to toys.

The present invention has for its object to provide a toy that will produce a buzzing whistling sound; furthermore, one that will afford considerable amusement to children 'lhis men vide toy i that "will be further contemplates to proe abovcelescribed character eincly sire ple in construction, clacmuparatively inexpensive to manufacture, and highly efficient in its use.

ilith the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel construe tion, combination, arrangement of parts to be'hereinafter more fully described, and specificallypointed out in the claims.

in describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, and wherein like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the, several views, in which 4 5 Figure lie a top plan view ol'iny improved toy. Fig, '2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view thereof. is a side elevation of the preferred form, of a portion. of my invention,

In the drawings the reference-numeral 1 indicates a tube which is provided at its end Wllihfl Whistle 2, said. tube having rigidly secured thereto at 3 a yoke 4, terminating in eyes 5,Wl1ich form bearings for the shaft 6, which is rotatably secured therein, this shaft carrying a series of wings or blades 7, which form a "Wind-Wheel.

in the preferred form, as shown in Fig. 3, I secure a ring 8, which is inclined at an angle to the yoke 4-, said ring or loop being preferably, formed integral with the yoke,

of the drawings.

the ring being adapted to encircle the tubular portion 1 of the Whistle, thereby providing an adjustment that could not be obtained in the construction as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 This construction also pro- Vides for the removal of the yoke and wind Wheel =fron'1 the Whistle, if desired;

The operation of my device'is as follows:

Vhen the air is forced through the tube 1, the combined Whistling and buzzing sound is produced by the cooperation of the Whistle and the rapid rotation of the Wind-Wheel.

Then it is-desired to remove the Wind-wheel,

the arms of theyoke will be spread apart and another wheel inserted in the bearing. By reason of the blades coming in close plflX- imity to the outer face ofthe Whistle the buzzing sound is produced.

The many advantages obtained by the use of my improved device will be readily ap-- parent from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying draw ings.

It Will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction Witliout departing from. the general spirit of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, What Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a toy, the coinbination'of a tube carrying a whistle at its end, a yoke slidably se cured upon said tube, and a Wind-Wheel journaled in the ends. of said yoke, substantially as described. v

2.

3. In a toy, the combination of a tube carrying a whistleat its end, aypke slidably sellitestimeny'whereef 1 uifix my signature cured upofl said tube, the'said yoke having in the presence of two witnesses. I V resilient arms a rotatable shaft secured in Q .theends of'said yoke, and a seriesbf blades CLIFFORD'D 6 5 attached to said shaft which are arranged in Witnesses:
